My fellow without a netters,
There is just nine days before we fly to Bangkok on Wednesday afternoon. A practice pack of our rucksacks was performed yesterday and both sacks passed the initial weight test.
We have an upper limit of 20kgs each but have imposed a weight limit of 10kgs each as we will be hauling the rucksacks around in the heat and humidity of South East Asia.
Even 7-8kgs feels heavy and we still have to pack various accessories on top of our practice pack which only included clothes.
It appears that the Taman Negara jungle will be a challenge regarding our clothing. We will need long trousers and long sleeved shirts to combat the threat of leeches !.
The aim is to pack enough for six to seven days then find laundering facilities. This means seeking out laundrettes in Melaka, Ko Lanta and Ko Tao.
One outstanding issue is the visit to Terendak. I tried the Embassy today but my contact had left. I am determined to get it sorted this week.
More later.
